LM2576-12WU Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The LM2576-12WU from Microchip Technology is a monolithic integrated circuit that provides all active functions for a step-down (buck) switching regulator. This fixed 12V output version is capable of driving a 3A load with excellent line and load regulation.

 

Designed for simplicity, it requires a minimum number of external components and includes internal frequency compensation and a fixed-frequency oscillator operating at 52kHz. The device offers an efficiency replacement for linear regulators, often eliminating the need for a heat sink. It features a wide input voltage range from 4V to 40V.

 

This regulator is housed in a TO-263-5 package, suitable for surface mount applications. It includes essential protection features such as cycle-by-cycle current limiting and thermal shutdown for reliability under fault conditions. The LM2576 series is ideal for various applications including on-card switching regulators and efficient pre-regulation for linear regulators.
